Released late last month this mouth watering new drifter from Yokomo is based on a new chassis design by Yokomo’s own Suzuki Hiroshi.
Of exceptional note for the 4WD drift car is the new dual center slipper clutch which allows an individual balance of power to the rear and front axle possible. This allows the front and rear wheels to spin at different speeds (See the video below) allowing the driver to pull of some pretty exceptional rolling burn-off moves! This is an RC drifters dream come true!
Add the increased steering angle and you have a great chassis for counter steer drift style. The clutch allows easy setup for different surfaces.
The use of saddle pack-batteries and the centered motor position give an even balance to the chassis for better control.
